Entertainment and Pop Culture expert Jill Clark joins me for a brand new segment, “The Culture Catch-Up”, to talk about the 90th Academy Awards. This year, the Best Picture category features 10 films that cross over genres that aren’t typically showcased in such an esteemed category. Clark also anticipates that there will be a more political edge to the Oscars this year in light of the Time’s Up and Me Too movements that have featured prominently in Hollywood this year. Listen to the full interview for more Oscar talk and tune in every Thursday for more of “The Culture Catch-Up”.
